Ocean forecasting system for Madagascar and Mozambique
The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information
Services (INCOIS) of the Ministry of Earth Sciences here inaugurated the Ocean
Forecasting System for Comoros, Madagascar, and Mozambique at the third Ministerial
Meeting of Regional Integrated Multi-Hazard Early Warning System for Asia and
Africa (RIMES), held at Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
The ocean forecast and early warming information on
high wave, currents, winds, tides, sub-surface ocean conditions cater to users
like fishermen, coastal population, tourism sector, coastal defence officials,
marine police, port authorities, research institutions and offshore industries
of these countries.
These ocean services are aimed towards safety at the
sea. The system would offer oil spill advisory services, high wave alerts, port
warnings, forecast along the ship routes in addition to tsunami and storm surge
warnings and help in search and rescue operations.
INCOIS is already providing these operational services
to Maldives, Sri Lanka and Seychelles.
The Ocean Forecast System developed for the Indian
Ocean countries and the real-time data from their territories also help to
improve the ocean forecast and early warning system for Indian coast too
